I was talking about crawling out of the cabin. I'm not familiar with the setups on the larger boats. On our 23', there are just two latches which I think any kid could easily defeat. I just don't think he'd crawl out if I'm there. I appreciate all the input. I do want a bigger boat, but I'm...

One question for the experienced parents. My wife is concerned about the kids (specifically our 3 almost 4 year old son) waking up at night and trying to crawl off the boat. He's been wanting to camp out on the lake with me. Personally I'm not too concerned about it because with our current...

Thanks, I appreciate the comments. Your situation sounds similar to mine, and that makes me less hopeful about a 27' given your comments regarding a 34'. You also hit on all of the needs exactly. With our 23' boat, we head out for a few hours at a time and are able to survive without toys. Food...

The dealer idea is a great one. That'd give us a good opportunity to tire kick. We'll check out Marine Max. I'll PM you regarding the dealer you used.

Right now we go to Hillsdale Lake, which is 15 minutes from our house. So we can be on the water in 30 minutes. We've never been to LOTO, although were thinking of taking a (non-boat) vacation there. Would probably also be a good opportunity to look at some boats and get an idea for realities...

I appreciate the thoughts on it. I would agree that this would be too small with three older kids. We have twin girls who turn 2 in December, and our son turns 4 in October. That's what makes me think that it might work for 5. But, "might." I've never seen one of these in person. What I like...

We've had "Soothing Blue" for about 2 years now - an '87 Sea Ray 230CC. It's been a great boat for us, and for what we do at the moment which is spend afternoons at the lake, eat dinner, pull the tube around, sometimes skiers. Lots of great memories in the 2 years we've had it. We're talking...

We just pulled the boat out of winterization last weekend. Everything works! :smt038 So now we're working through the list of things that need to get worked on. Being new to boating, I'm looking for advice on where to get some of the parts I'm looking for. 1) The plastic latches for the front...

My bow doesn't have rollers, it's the y-shaped setup. It looks like I need to measure width and then buy/order, we'll see. I'll check out the covers, thanks! I might try just the goal posts and see how that does first, then see about the sides if I don't like the goal posts. I see the CE...

Hello all, first post and first boat! A friend of ours took us out on his boat, and after the trip my wife and I found ourselves saying that we wanted to get a boat, too. We did some searching to figure out what we wanted, and found an excellent deal on a well-maintained 1987 SeaRay 230CC...
